Quality Control

Our 7,8-Dihydroxy-4'-Methoxyisoflavone is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods (IR, NMR, MS), to ensure it meets stringent specifications for research and development use. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed batch-specific results are provided to guarantee traceability and consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, prolonged storage under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) is recommended for optimal long-term stability. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
